what a useless year this has been. i wish i had a job.

so i have decided that i want to start talking about things that interest me in a more formal way. In this day and age, that means 'blogging'. Right now, i'm pondering a blog about food, because i love food and restaurants and cheese, but its almost trite and overdone at this point. there are a million so called foodie blogs out there, and ( Read more... )

The place- Delfina, in the Mission.The scene- Angry grey skies, driving rain, and a cold wind biting off of the Pacific Ocean.

wish i had more to report, though. when you're unemployed, every day is a thursday.
